When evaluating memory care in Florida, use the CMS star rating as a starting point, then look at the individual scores for health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. A facility can score 4 stars overall but have a poor staffing score — those details matter when choosing dementia care for a loved one. Tour at least two or three facilities before deciding, and ask each one about their approach to wandering prevention, behavioral changes, and family communication.
